3-center and 4-center 2-particle Gaussian AO integrals on modern accelerated processors

We report an implementation of the McMurchie–Davidson (MD) algorithm for 3-center and 4-center 2-particle integrals over Gaussian atomic orbitals (AOs) with low and high angular momenta l and varying degrees of contraction for graphical processing units (GPUs). This work builds upon our recent implementation of a matrix form of the MD algorithm that is efficient for GPU evaluation of 4-center 2-particle integrals over Gaussian AOs of high angular momenta (l ≥ 4) [A. Asadchev and E. F. Valeev, J. Phys. Chem. A 127, 10889–10895 (2023)]. The use of unconventional data layouts and three variants of the MD algorithm allow for the evaluation of integrals with double precision and sustained performance between 25% and 70% of the theoretical hardware peak. Performance assessment includes integrals over AOs with l ≤ 6 (a higher l is supported). Preliminary implementation of the Hartree–Fock exchange operator is presented and assessed for computations with up to a quadruple-zeta basis and more than 20 000 AOs. The corresponding C++ code is part of the experimental open-source LibintX library available at https://github.com/ValeevGroup/libintx.

Distributed memory, GPU accelerated Fock construction for hybrid, Gaussian basis density functional theory

With the growing reliance of modern supercomputers on accelerator-based architecture such a graphics processing units (GPUs), the development and optimization of electronic structure methods to exploit these massively parallel resources has become a recent priority. While significant strides have been made in the development GPU accelerated, distributed memory algorithms for many modern electronic structure methods, the primary focus of GPU development for Gaussian basis atomic orbital methods has been for shared memory systems with only a handful of examples pursing massive parallelism. Here in this work, we present a set of distributed memory algorithms for the evaluation of the Coulomb and exact exchange matrices for hybrid Kohn–Sham DFT with Gaussian basis sets via direct density-fitted (DF-J-Engine) and seminumerical (sn-K) methods, respectively. The absolute performance and strong scalability of the developed methods are demonstrated on systems ranging from a few hundred to over one thousand atoms using up to 128 NVIDIA A100 GPUs on the Perlmutter supercomputer.
